You really think refs cost us this game? This game came down to not having a guy that can go create his own shot at the end of a game. And Kitenge trying to dribble 18 feet from the goal with his back to the basket multiple times late. This team has continued to fall apart in winning time on the road all year. No guy that can go get us a bucket when it is needed. Fulks and Julien couldn't beat their guy off the dribble. Having no back up PG is killing this team as well. Fulks is really really good at distributing but when he is on the bench, Thomas just stands around with the ball. Too many holes on this team and Marlin seeing what MT has been for 3 years and rolling with it is laughable.
I think those two calls played a real pivotal role in the momentum of the game. As far as Kitenge handling the ball, he was doing it all game. I see why they went back to him. Also something was off with Kobe. Not quite sure what but if he has a normal game I think we win by 10. But there was no way we were getting out of there with a W.
Both techs on the Cajuns were probably the right call. No composure from Kitenge and Butler who are older guys too. Hell, I also saw an assistant laying into your boy Landry and another guy on the bench for talking _____. Composure was not there for sure. It was a rough environment but we need to be better.
Been saying this. We have no closer or 'star'. Kitenge is very limited offensively and that's who we're forced to rely on to finish? This team is cooked until we can get a star. Preferably an offensive one. Or at least another Elfrid Payton that's elite at defense, getting to the basket and playmaking.
Stars seem to come along every four or five years.
Perhaps we should call them comets.
We can blame refs and the “hostile” environment all we want. At the end of the day, our Cajuns team, less than one year off of a tournament birth, blew a double digit lead in the 2nd half to a McNeese team that barely won a third of its games last season.
Now, I’m sure Big Fish Bob’s wife is on social media decrying any fan criticism of her well-paid husband and complaining about how classless Will Wade is, just like she did last time.
And with this “hostile” environment, what stopping our program from creating a hostile environment for opponents at the Cajundome? If McNeese can do it…
